Assistant Chief Constable
- Assistant Chief Constable
Assistant Chief Constable (ACC) is the third highest rank in all British territorial police forces (except the Metropolitan Police and City of London Police, in which the equivalent rank is Commander), as well as the British Transport Police and Ministry of Defence Police.
Each force has between one and five Assistant Chief Constables. They are the lowest officers at Chief Officer level, below the Chief Constable and Deputy Chief Constable, and rank immediately above Chief Superintendents. Assistant Chief Constables usually hold portfolios (e.g. for crime, operations or territorial policing). In larger forces, ACCs may be given responsibilities for policing major territories within the force area.
Insignia
The rank badge worn by an ACC consists of crossed tipstaves within a wreath.
